ADJECTIVE

[/ɑːrtʃt/]

having the shape of an arch; curved

a merchant pushes a wooden cart loaded with colorful goods across the stone bridge. The bridge features three beautifully curved stone arches that rise elegantly above the flowing water below. Each arch creates a perfect semicircular opening that frames the river beneath. The stonework curves smoothly from the bridge pillars up to the highest point and back down. A young woman walks alongside the merchant, pointing admiringly at the bridge's graceful curved design. Other townspeople cross the bridge, their figures silhouetted against the arched openings.  structures having the curved shape of an arch
